Hello fellow Creekers’

I know that you have seen a post like this before. I am in the market for a new band saw. I have narrowed down my choice to either a Laguna LT18HD or a Minimax MM20 aka S500P. I chose these saws over the LT16HD or the MM16 because I would like a table at least 19" x 27”. I do not see myself making a lot of veneer, but I will be doing plenty of resawing and dimensioning of lumber. I especially look forward to ripping 16/4 Cherry, something that terrifies me on a table saw. Im summary, I’m looking for a relatively quite and powerful saw that doesn’t vibrate a lot. I don’t want to ever get the upgrade bug again, at least for a band saw.

Please let me know what you think.
